Victoria 3 beginner's guide

You'll need this Victoria 3 beginner's guide because there's a lot to learn in the latest grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studios. You'll be playing as 'the spirit of a nation,' making decisions about important policies, industry and trade, and your relationships with other nations around the world. It's a lot to take in all at once, and our Victoria 3 beginner's guide will help get you up and running in no time.
While Victoria 3 can seem intimidating at first, you'll always have the ability to pause time for as long as you need to make decisions, size up the situation, and issue orders. When things feel overwhelming in the strategy game, just hit the spacebar! Running the game at slower speeds can also help keep notifications coming at a reasonable pace, so experiment with those as you play. You won't get bonus prestige points for blasting through everything at the highest speed. Our guides for Victoria 3 trade and Victoria 3 diplomatic plays can help clear things up, too.
